A number raised to a power means the product of y x's. So is x*x*x. It is not 3x. If x=10 then = 10*10*10 = 1000.

is the product of 3 2's. That's 2*2*2 = 8.

Hope the solution helped. Sometimes you need more than a solution. Contact fcabanski@hotmail.com for online, private tutoring, or personalized problem solving (quick for groups of problems.)
